La Coka Nostra (US) Live in Athens

La Coka Nostra is the US supergroup that House of Pain's core built with Ill Bill of Non Phixion and Slaine, releasing three albums between 2009 and 2016. The 2009 debut A Brand You Can Trust pulled in Snoop Dogg, B-Real and Immortal Technique; DJ Premier and Statik Selektah handled beats on the 2012 follow-up. Live, they stack heavy boom-bap under some of hip-hop's most aggressive MCs, with lyrics fixed on street realism, addiction and politics. Athens gets them at ARCH Club, with Thytis and Loimos, two local acts, opening.
